SANTA CLARITA - There's less than a month left before Election Day and only a few hours to register to vote in November.

The Los Angeles County Clerk is reminding county residents they have until midnight tonight to register to vote and are encouraging those who haven't to participate in Midnight Madness at the Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave.

Aside from the presidential election, U.S. Rep. Howard ``Buck'' McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, is being challenged for his seat by Sid Gold, a Northridge physician.

Assemblyman George Runner is running against Democrat Paula Calderon and Libertarian Greg Bashem of Lancaster. There are also four seats open on the Castaic Lake Water Agency Board.

Residents who wish to register must be U.S. citizens, Los Angeles County residents, not in prison, never convicted of a felony and 18 by Election Day.

Registration forms are also available throughout the county at 1,300 locations, including libraries, fire stations, post offices and city clerk offices.

The County Clerk's Office, 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, also will have registration forms and a deposit box for completed forms available in the front lobby until midnight.
